context_page_description: The 2020 Atlantic hurricane season is an ongoing event in the annual tropical cyclone season in the north Atlantic Ocean. NOAA's Climate Prediction Center is forecasting a hyperactive 2020 Atlantic hurricane season. The season officially began on June 1 and will end on November 30. These dates, adopted by convention, historically describe the period in each year when most Atlantic tropical systems form. However, storm formation is possible at any time of the year, as demonstrated in 2020 by the formation of the season's first named storm, Tropical Storm Arthur, on May 16.
  This timeline documents tropical cyclone formations, strengthening, weakening, landfalls, extratropical transitions, and dissipations during the season. It includes information that was not released throughout the season, meaning that data from post-storm reviews by the National Hurricane Center, such as a storm that was not initially warned upon, has been included.
  By convention, meteorologists use one time zone when issuing forecasts and making observations: Coordinated Universal Time, and also use the 24-hour clock.
